In March 2016, publishing sector consultant Aljoscha Walser became the first seed investor in L-Pub via his company:

Narses Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH

Second seed level financing round

In January 2017, L-Pub welcomed two further investors to the company:

Regional funding board Hessen Kapital I

Business angel Nicholas Jefcoat

At the same time, most of the previous investors reinvested, raising the post-money valuation of L-Pub GmbH to € 1,325,000 (status of January 2017).

Additional financing

L-Pub got further funding for a unique research-based collaboration with TU Darmstadt. The project is called “a!”(automated language instruction).

This project (HA-Projekt-Nr.: 521/17-03) is sponsored in part by the Hessen ModellProjekte financed by the LOEWE program – Landes-Offensive zur Entwicklung Wissenschaftlich-ökonomischer Exzellenz, Förderlinie 3: KMU-Verbundvorhaben.

L-Pub is open to getting to know individuals and companies who might be interested in investing in us. We are an INVEST-approved company in Germany, which means business angels will get 20% of their investment refunded tax-free immediately after investment and can profit tax breaks on their income after exit.
